Herwald and Raphaela Hauleitner cultivate their vineyards in Wagram ob der Traisen near Traismauer. The family business has existed since 1932 and is run according to the motto "Drinking is a necessity, enjoying is an art". The aim is to produce purist wines with plenty of fruit and smoothness for everyday drinking. New sales partners are constantly being added at home and abroad and are delighted with the delicate products. The exclusively hand-picked wines of the friendly and friendly winemaker couple are characterized by the terroir and focused on the character of origin (Traisental DAC and Traisental DAC Reserve).
The terroir types in Traisental are loess, conglomerate and the somewhat heavier, loamier clay soil on oncophora (shell limestone). The dominant varieties such as Grüner Veltliner and Riesling as well as Gelber Muskateller from the Bergen vineyard are the hobbyhorses of the young winemaker couple. Making clear and authentic wines is their top priority, with minerality and varietal fruit taking center stage. The predominantly deep and calcareous loess soil, especially in the top Sonnleithen vineyard, guarantees full fruit, harmony and drinking pleasure. Other single-vineyard Veltliners are in focus: on the one hand the Grüner Veltliner "Rosengarten", which - grown on cool loess soil with greater proximity to the conglomerate - shows a very fine and delicate Veltliner spiciness, on the other hand the Grüner Veltliner "Venusberg", which presents a very creamy density and minerality on heavy and clayey soil. At the tip of the spear, the Grüner Veltliner "Parapluiberg" and the Grüner Veltliner "Konglomerat" demonstrate the variety's rich diversity. There is also a Riesling "Spontan" from the Sonnleithen vineyard, naturally fermented without the addition of yeast, a strong, creamy Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine from Grüner Veltliner and a fruity sparkling wine from Gelber Muskateller. The winery was "Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix" winner in 2009 and "Falstaff Traisental DAC Cup" winner in 2016, 2018 and 2022 as well as double winner in 2019 and 2021.
